Let X be a Poisson random variable with mean 20.

(a) Use the Markov inequality to obtain an upper bound on

p = P{X ≥ 26}


(b) Use the one-sided Chebyshev inequality to obtain an upper bound on p.


(c) Use the Chernoff bound to obtain an upper bound on p.


(d) Approximate p by making use of the central limit theorem.


(e) Determine p by running an appropriate program.
